The amazing world of LEGO® Technic constructions.
Based on the vision from Ole Kirk Christiansen (1891-1958), a carpenter from Billund/Denmark, whose personal motto was "Only the best is good enough" - Leg Godt (Play Well).

TechnicBRICKs blog (TBs hereafter) is devoted to the LEGO Technic theme and intends to spot mainly on news and developments, rather than new sets reviews or users creations (aka MOCs). However you will also find them here occasionally...

From the colour pattern, I assume this is a rescue helicopter. That would explain the two knobs on its left side: probably one for the rotors (why not a crank, why?!) and one for a winch (which can actually be seen on the Buggy pictures below). It would be silly to have a knob for the main rotor and another one for the tail!

8048, Buggy:

It looks an evolution of the 8296 Dune Buggy, with front suspension added. From one of the pictures, we can see at the rear a glimpse of a piston engine; let's hope there's also rear suspension!

So, three out of five new sets have shown their faces, all of them medium-sized. So, there are still left to be seen the smallest and the largest sets for next semester… can't wait for those!

Update:Meanwhile, other pictures by ForceMaster appeared in Eurobricks, which clear some doubts about these new sets, especially the V4 motor, rear suspension and functional steering wheel on the Buggy.

Also the new shots make these models look far better. Specially the Chopper as for the Buggy it was already looking to be an interesting model.

8049 tractor with a flatbed on logs - Pneumatic function returns! First model 2010, which can boast of this great technology with a flatbed tractor is the timber, which has articulated crane arm with a mechanical forceps uchopovacími powered pneumatic pistons! It can harness the flatbed and controlled management of the cab - this tractor is a must-have!

This is writed on www.legoland.cz pages under "lego new 2010"I used google translator.What do you think about this!

Good to see the rear suspension on the buggy has been confirmed. It looks like a really interesting set. And having a steering wheel that is more than just decoration is also a plus. Model isn't finished though (I think) as the seats are pretty poor.
